Is this some kind of inside joke with translators? Does japanese have a word a different word for death of soul and death of body or something? I see it used a lot, or the reverse of "He's the type of guy who wouldn't die even if he was killed". Also, its 2015 and people are still taking the Shirou quote out of context.
>>133978003
That does it anon, you've taken this too far.
>>133976536
>>133986429
In context, the quote always makes sense, but it's always a metaphor that only works based on how the show is telling it.
Shirou should've died when killed because he kept getting Avalon'd, and autumn dude was a literal retard who barely understood the concepts of life and death, not getting how there aren't second chances or undoing a murder.
But it's always funny out of context because it's basic shit played as serious.
>>133986523
I know that, but at this point the F/SN quote is so infamous, I would imagine any translator would just phrase it differently to avoid that.
>>133986429
It's just "he's really tough, so tough that even the definitions of words can't do anything to him". Try not to overthink it.
So simple yet true for many.

>>133987445
I think the hardest part of listening to stories is that it will never be reality. And you will never be the hero. Never have that position where you learn the meaning of whatever it is you have been called to do. It's an escape, but no matter how many times you take it, you will eventually need to return to dullness of everyday life.
>>133983448
faggot on the wrong board
>>133980099
Now I know where I saw that scene from back then.
>>133986429
In English, the verb 'to kill' implies completion of the act of killing someone. The Japanese verb 'to kill' only means the action of killing someone.
It's like the difference between kicking a ball and swinging your foot.
A literal translation would be something weird like "People die if you take the actions to kill them". The actual meaning in most contexts is more like "Violence leads to death" or in the negative case "You couldn't kill him even if you tried"
>>133980838

You're the hero of your own story, dude. But keep in mind the hero doesn't always get the best life - lots of times it's just tragedy. Heck, even look at Dragonball Z, wouldn't you rather be Krillin and marry a genuinely awesome girl instead of being Goku or Vegeta? Who's life is genuinely better?
Hey hey, who the hell do you think you are talking big on your little message board? This is probably all you can do to express yourself in your life (laugh).
>>133988590
It's true that I control my story. But am I the hero, the center of the stage? Or am I an extra on the side? Both have entirely different lives, but both are pieces to a larger story. I guess you might be right on many accounts. Perspective is a terrifying thing.
I do like your contrast to Goku, and Krillin as well. They're good people to be, or to aspire to be. I suppose what I like about these heroes is they drastically affect the story with their choices, and their existence is still important. If one disappears, then the entire story changes.
I suppose the idea is that they are connected to the big picture, while we bystanders don't really change much. Some exist only to die.
It's an interesting thought experiment.
And I am sorry for my wall of text. I may have gotten carried away.

It's a miracle any non-white people managed to survive Rudolf's purging at all. That's why you only see white people in the empire.
Mashengo is a god damn 31st century unicorn.
>>133990408
To be fair, there were only about 4 defined black people in all of space, with everybody else being russian, german, american, or generally Caucasian.
And as one of those few black people of space, Louis Mashengo was a fucking champion.
>>133990408
That's because Kaiser Rudolf (?) killed them, if you watched LoGH you know Reinhard wouldn't care about skin color as long as they were competent.
>>133990116
Have you considered that what you call libtard propaganda is what we otherwise refer to as morality, justice and righteousness, and conservative values are actually a thin veneer over what we call evil?

The point of Rudolf was that he was basically Adolf, and the Nazi's treated blacks/africans terribly too. so you'd assume that they'd have been purged as well.

>>133991578
The Ottoman Empire was very advanced for its time and bore many similarities to national socialism which Hitler liked. Muslims may have been darker, but the muslims Hitler liked enough to have taken photos with wouldn't have been the dark ones from africa, more like just the tanned-like-a-mediterranean/greek type of fellow which the Germans would tolerate and respect as long as they stuck to their own culture.

An ideal government seeks to improve its citizenry, and to make them want to improve themselves. To this end, making sure necessities like food and housing are available, as well as education, isn't liberal or conservative; it's common sense and will nearly always result in the betterment of the nation as a whole.
The current problem for the government, at least in America, is that we struggle to efficiently provide these things and a lot of the resources gets stagnated in the process.

No, German blacks did not join the Nazi Party.
Assuming everyone in Germany was a Nazi just because they were the party in power is like assuming everyone in America is a Democrat because Obama is in office.
Many did join the the Wehrmacht to avoid the occasional sweep of forced sterilization blacks got for being Untermensch in Hitler's Reich.

It doesn't help that we have far too many imbeciles like our /pol/tard friend here who directly interfere to make it harder to not only provide those services, but to fix the inefficient system that's providing them.

Well, he was a guest staying in the Olympic athletes village with Aryan fangirls lusting after his speedy niggerdick.
Would probably help that Germany was a very nice country in 1936.

The divided congress, many of whom (at least in the house) are newer members following more specific ideologies and are more beholden to their constituencies then their more senior counterparts, is really fucking things up.

>>133991815
He was referring to how he didn't expect Hitler to come shake his hand, but he was really disappointed that Roosevelt didn't invite him to the White House with the rest of the Olympic athletes afterwards.
It didn't hurt him to be snubbed by the known racist and Aryan supremacist. It did hurt to be snubbed by his own president.

I blame Nixon for getting the religious retards involved and they've fucked up the entire Republican Party now.
Politics is a game of give and take. Compromise.
These religious fucknuggets think they have God on their side and refuse to budge and inch, even if it literally shuts down the government.
And their constituents are told to love them for it by their noise machine. And any Republican who understands how(and simply THAT) government is supposed to work are vilified as RINOs. Republicans in Name Only. While the only reason the Tea-Tards are even part of the GOP is to use that shiny little (R) after their name. They are literally the only RINOs in the room.

The tea party is a rather disturbing movement. I take solace though in the fact that most of human history has progressed in the manner of first a movement, then a counter movement as push back against the first. This ironically doesn't result in stagnation but rather progress.
Eventually the push back against the tea party will form a movement, hopefully in the Republican Party itself, to retake the party back from extremism. How long it is till that point i have no clue though.
>>133992677
Everyday I wish. But it's so ingrained into our system it would take decades or one really charismatic individual to accomplish, maybe both.
>>133992677
The problem is that that bleeds votes off the party they want and will just make it easier for "the others" to win.
So if the Tea Party were to split off, it would take a lot of votes away from moderate Republican candidates and open up a great deal of opportunities for the Democrats to grow and expand.
Of course, the Democrats are being run into the ground by that idiot cunt of a Party Chair they have and her abandonment of the 50-State Policy has cost that party literally hundreds of seats in Congress and state and local legislatures because she assumed they weren't worth fighting for.

I'm sure that some of them were affected, but most of them were permanently helf in serfdom. Once the Alliance was founded and news of it spread throughout the Empire in secret, virtually all minorities (i.e., anyone who was neither white nor had a German surname) fled to the Alliance.

Food and housing are already provided by the government. Post-secondary education is so overpriced due to subsidies removing these institutions from the free market. Trying to meddle in the economy further only makes things worse. If you don't believe me, look at our cities that have been dominated by Democrats for decades: Chicago, Detroit, L.A., Baltimore, etc.

It is a counter movement, but the reason I say it's disturbing is because it's a counter movement to something that isn't really a movement. A counter movement without an origin or actual reason.
It's a counter movement to this idea that religion, and the "traditional American Lifestyle" are under attack.
Now, anyone with reason can find that conservatism is stronger in America than liberalism and that disparity hasn't really changed much at all for decades at least.
They would also be able to figure out that religion, more specifically Christianity, is alive and well in America still, it just doesn't have the stranglehold on American spirituality as it did before.
And finally, their belief in a "traditional" American lifestyle is nothing more than mistaking a forced situation for tradition. Women weren't in the workforce before because they wouldn't have been hired. Interracial marriage was illegal, and so was same sex marriage. Their "tradition" is just a part of laws reflecting prior prejudices in the nation, not an actual cultural tradition.
The Tea Party is just a counter movement against perceived threats to a group that used to have near complete control in America.

anon the point here is that, the villain seek for joy in evil by doing bad deeds. Then the reverse for the hero is equivalent, if the hero enjoy his path in righteousness then he too, believe good is liberating.
Second of all, the villain also accomplish nothing because the hero is always there to undo his part.
>>133997803
The hero suffers to get his enjoyment though, while the villain is inherently taking the path of least resistance. The hero may feel he's doing the right thing, but he is totally shackled to the will and whims of the villain, as a hero is a reactionary entity that can't act until the villain has made a move.
>>133989993
>King Torture is Garou
Christ.
>>133997854
Not all heroes are reactionary to the antagonist's actions. Take the heroes of old such as Gilgamesh. They are entirely self-driven, and every action they take is done out of their own desire to accomplish something great. Granted, Gilgamesh is a complete asshole who does a fuck-ton of dickish things such as slaying the Bull of the Heavens, murdering Umbaba to chop down holy trees to make a sick-ass gate for his city, making an important goddess look like a dumb bitch, etc. However, the actions in of themselves do not define the hero but the extent of their greatness. A hero who goes to impossible ends to take down a powerful villain threatening the peace of the world is a hero because of what he undergoes, not because of his motives. A hero's actions may harm others and may ultimately be selfish in motive, but so long as the action is great and awe-inspiring, they are a hero.
At least that's how heroism used to work. You could be a massive faggot and still be called a hero just because of how fucking big of a dick you had from fucking the mother of gorgons after slaying a 90-headed hydra or some shit.

I think you sell the definition of "hero" a bit cheap like comparing it to a local police officer. If the hero can foresaw the threat in front of him then he ought to eliminate it before it occur. Villian don't have to be the one who make the first move. Villain can make mistake once but it won't happen the second time. This logic also mirror the Hero too if he doesn't take the Villain in consideration.
>The hero suffers to get his enjoyment though
What make you think that villains are evil by nature.Most of the time it's the process degeneration caused by the system or society; therefore, they suffer no less than the hero themselves.
>>133994985

Why yes, catastrophically mutated and harmful genes are bad.
Also, the sky is blue and things fall down due to gravity.

>>133998093
>what makes you think villains are evil by nature
At the very least, they are unethical in order to expedite whatever plans they have. Their entire shtick is minimizing their own suffering and possibly maximizing the suffering of those that would get in their way
>>133997951
Most "Modern" supervillains don't look like fire breathing monsters. They look like skinny edgy faggots that occasionally dress up and fire death lasers. Unless you want to genocide all edgy highschoolers off of the earth, you have to wait for as move to be made. And if they are making a move, they probably already have plans to counter resistance.
>>133998214
What I'm trying to say is that the hero is a separate entity from a villain. They do not rely on the villain to exist, even in the modern age. There are still great feats performed and to be performed and to strive to perform, and the journey to accomplish them is the path of heroism. To aid others is but one way heroes are born, but it is not the only way; to put an end to the villain's scheme is another yet both are acceptable forms of heroism. Just because you have the power to stop a bad guy doesn't mean that should be the limit to what good one can do in service to others or even toward oneself.
>>133998291
Well in that case a hero is a slave to society. No matter what, a hero's job is to serve others. Even the more self aggrandizing heroes benefit others more than themselves. Villains have no shackles to any entity or ideology other than their own.

I hope you realize that in Humanity's 200,000 year history, it's only been 10,000 years since Agriculture, Permanent Settlement, all the things we would describe as civilization, were invented. And very rarely were those technologies entirely independently invented by societies. What typically occured was that the technologies and cultural achievements of one Society spread to other Societies. An example of this would be the fact that all of Europe's most widely used Alphabets are derived from the Phonecien Alphabet, one originating from non-White Middle-Eastern Phonecia.
If genes were truly the end all of intelligence technological success, and Whites were inherently more intelligent that other races, then you would have expected White societies to have independently come up with the technological and cultural achievements originating from non-White Societies, and to have done so without the tens of thousands of years spent living as hunter-gatherers after Humans first colonized Europe.
But of course the boundaries of races are vague, so you could change them to fit the definition that suits yourself.
>but instead they continue to live in mud huts even to our real life modern day.
The ones that do tended to have been born to poor illiterate parents and lacked the opportunity to receive education.
I don't think I have to remind you when I say that the Blacks that have had a middle-class upbringing and early education do as well as their white-middle class counterparts. To deny the fact that there exist a significant amount of Black people in every educated profession would be disingenuous.
>>133998317
Heroes are not necessarily bound by the concept of nationality or society, yet most are simply due to the fact that they were born as members of society. As I have said before, a hero's motives may be entirely selfish, but so long as the actions are great and leave an impression on others, then they are a hero.
Assuming most villains are or were human, they were at one point members of society as well. They are as much shackled by society as heroes, as they oppose society while heroes work with society. If they were not bound by society, they would be entirely isolated from it and would have little to do with it, and few villains do that. Sure there are those that wish to do the planet itself harm, but ultimately, the villain wishes to do harm to the society that has wronged them in some way, shape or form. The villain must actively go out of his way to do harm upon others or other things because that is the nature of the antagonist, which villains usually serve as. A hero's actions may bring harm to society through action or inaction, but heroism is not dependent on a hero protecting society to begin with. A villain is, however.

Social? Cultural? Economical?
Do you think it's a big achievement whites advanced more than blacks by a few decades of even centuries? Evolution spans millions of years.
Genes not causing talent is also obvious if you understand statistics. To show the relationship between genes and success you measure the two. Assuming 5% of whites are talented, that automatically rules out white genes being a single or even dominant factor. 1% of blacks being talented is irrelevant. You could say more white people are talented, but that's a vastly different thing from saying white genes case talent. More importantly in strict scientific interest controls need to be established to account for the shit ton of factors that could affect intelligence.
Most importantly, it only looks good in comparison. Nietzsche, the Stoics, et cetera have all warned of the dangers of propping yourself up on other's failings, on being good by comparison. It's self serving, it does no one, especially you, any good. They also contend mistaking other's lack of virtue as a sign of your own virtue makes you worse off and prevents you from improving.

>subsidies removing these institutions from the free market
You mean the market of loans which are the most common because they're the easiest to get and not based on achievement?
The real reason college is expensive is because colleges buy state of the art bullshit from companies who specialize and overprice their shit 100x over to take advantage of the fact that colleges will buy their shit at any price because of the competition of all colleges in order to gain attendance and prestige in order to keep with the demand of providing an "optimal education". But colleges want to make their money back so they pass their costs onto you. Thus 200 dollar books and $10,000-$20000 per semester tuition. But you need that education in order to compete with others for jobs so you pay the price through the loans usually. Same thing with health. Optimal health care from specialized companies who make their products and overcharge, hospitals, doctors, etc pass the cost onto you. But you'll pay any price to live longer so you'll pay it. Noticing the trend here?
